Peers 27 Mar 2011 | 02:17 pm
I was reluctant for it to happen -- but it's not like it's something I can control. Liam's visiting teacher suggested we get a clear canister, put something Liam may want in it, and get him to hand i...
Keep your distance! 12 Mar 2011 | 04:42 am
I got way too much enjoyment from this. A lady at church came up, gushed over Liam (and that's not a crime, is it?), touched his cheek, and said, "How's Liam today?" I said, "Sick. And contagious." ...
You are so full of it 20 Dec 2010 | 03:23 pm

Now that we have two babies, it's easier to see what's personality and what's just being a baby. Personality is a lot. Here's how theirs differ. The first time eating solid food Liam needed it now. ...
OMG 11 Oct 2010 | 12:52 pm
Friday before last we went out to eat, just the four of us. (Because the two babysitters who called us back either aren't available weekends or can't arrive till roughly Liam's bedtime. I'm posting a ...
